Vegetable Chow Mein Recipe
Description
Make this simple and delicious Chinese-style meal for your family. If you want a Vegetarian version, use Vegetable broth. If not, use Chicken Broth!
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
4 cups Nappa Cabbage (shredded, more to taste)
1 cup Carrots (shredded)
1/2 bunch Green Onions (sliced in long thin strips)
1 lb Fresh Steamed Thin Chow Mein Noodles
1 cup Vegetable Broth or Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Soy Sauce, light
1/8 - 1/4 cup Pure Sesame Oil, or less if you do not especially care for Sesame oil
1/4 cup Lo Mein Sauce
2 cups Bean Sprouts (cleaned and trimmed)
Optional:
2 cups Baby Bok Choy, thinly sliced
Directions
In a large colander, run hot water through the steamed chow mein for about 30 seconds, separating the noodles and removing the excess flour. Set aside.
* If you don't have chinese steamed chow mein, use Angel Hair pasta and cook the pasta for 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
In large wok or pan, heat oil on medium-high and add green onions, cabbage and carrots. Stir fry for about 2-4 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted.
Increase the temperature to high and add the chow mein noodles and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Cook stirring and tossing constantly for about 45 seconds and then add the remaining chicken broth. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or so or until all the liquid is dissolved.
Add the remaining ingredients, soy sauce, sesame oil and lo mein sauce, and continue to cook for another 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
Optional: You can also choose at this point to crisp the bottom by spreading the noodles on the pan and cooking on high for about 1-2 minutes without moving or stirring the noodles. Flip over onto a plate and serve.
Serves: 4-8
